W3l. 1.1. DUTTON, seti-Ste - • 112 G and 112 a Chestnut street. EV - PNING BULLETIN. Wednesday, December 15, 1869. .• THE FOLICE COERIIPTION FUND. It appearsto be sufficiently' Well established bat, despite the professed stringency of Mayor Fox's Pollee Manual, quite a formidable cor ',,' ,tuption fund has been extracted from the po , for use at HarriSburg, daring the ap , miaehing session of the Legislature: , Section . 2.0 f the Manual says : "No assessment for any purpose will be imposed or permitted to be illeaied on the force. If, in extraordinary cases, ; the : Mayor shall i'ecomeneud contributions by tbalorce for the relief of any of its members, -stich contributions must be entirely robin ., tary." Section 25, of the same entertaining treatise, declares that : "No member of the rolice Department will be allowed to connect himself with any organization of any kind, the 'object of which is the political advancement of a party clique, combination or individual ; un der penalty of dismissal." 4" In the face of these professions of purity, a , heavy fund has been raised by enforced levies is upon the men, for the purpose of corrupting , 4 legislators at Harrisburg. An " organization" has been formed, a treasurer appointed; tinder bOnds for the safe-keeping of the money, • and suitable arrangements made for its judicioiss disbursement whenever there is a prospect of defeating the Metropolitan Police Bill with its aid. Instead of men being visited with the penalty of slismissal for joining political orga nizations, a few honest officers who; by some freak of fortune, had got upon the force, have suffered the penalty of an enforced resignation because they would not pay up for this cor-, ruption fund.• There would be no difficulty in giving a somewhat detailed history of this fund, • its - Origin, its collection, its amount and its ul timate destination. Authorities differ • es to its present amount, their statements ranging from ten to thirty dollars per head ; but as to the essential fact that there has been created a large corrup tion fund, which cannot have any possible honest purpose, there is not a shadow of doubt. The men who have contributed this large . sum of money should look very closely after its expenditure, and make some arrangement by which they can recover their assessments, in case it is found that the requisite number of Senators cannot be bought. This is very likely to be the case. There will be' fewer available Senators this winter than there were at the last session, and those few will be under an espion age so vigilant and searching, and every case of attempted or successful corruption will be so ruthlessly exposed by the public press, that it will require some very ingenious improvement on the old methods of baiter and sale. The votes to defeat a Metropolitan Police Bill must be bought, if at all,' in the Senate. There are too many members in the House to make a bargain there at all practicable. A good Police bill will pass there without difficulty, and this corruption fund must be used, if at all, in the Senate. In the Senate, with its small number of members, so easily watched if sus pected, the chances of spending this police money to advantage are exceedingly small. The Police Corruption Fund will promote rather than defeat the Metropolitan Police measure. The timely exposure of its existence will convince the most sceptical that there has been no exaggeration in what the BULLETIN and other Republican papers have said of the character of the 'present police administration of the city. Last winter, several very crude and objectionable Police bills were presented to the Legislature, and it is just as wellthat they were • unsuccessful. The establishment of a Metro politan Police for Philadelphia is a very ina portantjileaStlres Red it should be considered deliberately and thoroughly matured in all its details. If the police corruption fund makes its appearance at Harrisburg, it will be watched with most - unpleasant scrutiny, and it will be a difficulty barely short of impossibility for any --- Af it to find its way into Senatorial pockets without such an exposure as will convince the people of Pennsylvania -that -there is; section of the State, a Republican press de , ermined to be 'no respector of persons, if the purity of the Legislature - can be secured by the open denunciation of those .corrupt prac tices that bare so disgraced Harrisburg in times JAW.. THE SOLDIERS' ORPHANS DEPART MENT. There is no department of the government of Pennsylvania which reflects more credit upon all connected with it that► that which has charge of the inaintemuice and education of the orphans of Pennsylvania's soldiers. Es tablished by Governor Curtin in furtherance of big oft-repeated pledge to the departing regi ments of the State, it has been fostered and extended by Governor Geary.with such faith ful and intelligent care that it has grown into a great educational system of incalculable: ad vantage, as it is of high honor, to the Corn- viMnivealth. Governor Geary's good judgment and pa triotism were manifeSted in selecting one of the crippled heroes of the war as the Superin tendent of Soldiers' Orphans, and Colonel McFarland has discharged his novel and onerous duties with a degree of faith; fulness and ability worthy •of all praise. The foundations•of the system were laid by his predecessor, the lion. Thomas 11. Burrowes; but the superstructure, beneath whose kindly Shelter nearly four thousand orphaned boys and! girls now find protection and education, has been reared and perfected by Colonel Mc- Farland, with a patient perseverance, au intel *ligent comprehension of the -requirements of 4 the case, and a rigid regard for the honest and • • toxfponfic4 expenditure of the public money, .: . ividch have been must gratifying to all who Lave taken the trouble to watch the course of \ .' *is administration. /' 'We take it for granted that Governor Geary Iwill continue this important department of his moverpmenti under its present efficient direc- Lion. Its machinery is all now, in good run ning._ , order,. and it is niost desirabie that .the ~,,plans ; .tfia present excellent, Superintendent shall be car%- ,ried into theirfah effect }hider the'same mind and hand that ; have devised land urrange~i them. There. is ,always a certain' amount of -restit*. 'desire to find rank with the' most tineicePtion able public servants, and Superintendent Farlatid has bad bis share' of unjust eritieism and blame from these who have been On . willing to take the . trouble necessary to disabuse their minds of prejudices engendered: by foolish and false reports: But'the soldiers': orphan schools of the State afford the highest proof of their 'excellent and constantly proVing management, while, every detail of the financial affairs of the : department invites 'the freest and fullest scrutiny. We arc ,glad ha learn that Gov,. Geary contem plates the recommendation of a measure in con nection with this Department,which wlllrelieve the State of a portion of its expense, and fix a definite limit to' the duration of the system. The present law provides for the care of the orphans of Pennsylvania soldiers who died Yiri the war," and this law has been liberally con stilled to include the , cases of soldiers .dying, from wounds or disease _contracted in the ser vice, after the close of the war. It is now pro posed to establish a fixed period after the close .of the war,—say the Ist of May, 1800,—as the latest period of orphanage to be recognized by the State, unless the parent died, undischarged from the service, after that period. This will somewhat reduce the number of applicants yet to be received, and will fix a definite point for the expiration of the system. When an ignorant man, or a man in au nimble position, steals or commits A fraud, be is arrested and punished, and the facts of his crime are published in the papers. The igno rant and poor man is not half so indulgently treated by the public as is the highly educated man. who, after reveling in prosperity and honors, is tempted to betray trusts and com mit frauds. The silence that the public press of this city has observed. concerning the mis deeds of a man in a high social position, about which the whole community has been talking for a week or two, shows a great deal of for . bearance, andinuch more charity than the indi vidual liaS been wont to show towards others. But the forbearance has been prompted by respect for the feelings of others besides the offender. He has used his talents and 'his pen so often in speeches and writings defamatory of Philadelphia and her best citizens, that he has forfeited all claim to pity or indulgence from them, so far as he is personally concerned. He showed himself so conspicuously and osten tatiously opposed to the cause of the Union, at the time when all good citizens were aroused for its preservation, that be ought not to expect a particle of the mercy that has been extended to him by the people and the press that have so often been insulted and defamed by him. There is no sound sense, sound philosophy, or sound morality in treating such a man with in dulgence,or forbearance, or charity, or sympathy in his time of disgrace and shame ;, while press and people are at the same time rejoicing over the trial, conviction and punishment of men less criminal, who had not as 'good education and as high social position. The full extent - of• William R. Reed's misdoings, with which the town has been ringing for so many days, can probably never be made public through the press. Influential friends, and the character istic kindness of this community which he has so often maligned, will prevent this. But we choose to make a record of it in these columns, so as to furnish a few fresh "nuts for future historians to crack." The ignorant and poor criminal's misdeeds are reported daily in the columns of the newspapers, and there is no respect paid to the feelings of their relatives and friends. Why should there be any,suppression of the facts, when a man who ought to knoW better commits a wrong ? The necessity for having.a School Superin tendent for this city has long been urged in these columns and by various gentlemen in terested in the cause'ofeduuttion. A long re port on the subject was submitted to the 'Board of Controllers yesterday, which presents the matter in a very strong light. The C,om- mittee making the report was authorized to ask for an appropriation for the purpose of cairying out the design, and there is now some chance that the important Office of School Srt perintendent will be created. Every other, county in the State has its local Superintendent, and the First District should no longer he with out one. As mentioned in our later editions yesterday, Governor Geary will, to-day, issue his order to the Sheriff of Cumberland county withdrawing the death-warrant of : Dr. Schoeppe. This is done in view of the application to the Suprethe Court for a new trial, and there Is now every prespeCt that the, accused will have a fair opportunity to establish before the Courts, as he has already done before the people, his in nocence of the terrible crime with which he has been charged. • Earle & Sons make a rich holiday display in their fine gallery, Chestnut street.

JACKSONVILLE, IIL, Dec. l&—Win. Mattox, late of Been county, was killed a few days ago by his son Lewis. The are that the old man was quarrelsome when under the in fluence of liquor. On the day of his death he came home considerably intoxicated, and had a knife in his hand, and swinging it in a threatening manner, came near Lewis, telling him he would cut his heart out. Lewis told" him mot to come near him ; while retreating a shot was. tired from a sheik into which Lewis had backed, and the old man fell dead. Wm. Mattox and a man by the name of Knowles were in the shed at the time, and It was thought that Lewis drew the old man in that vicinity in order to kill him. The coroner's jury committed Lewitt and William Mattox and Knowles to jail on the charge of murder.

On the other hand, it was, argued that the Old Dominion Company Would own the riew line before the expiration of a year, and matters would he made worse: After much discussion, a resolution was finally passed recommending the matter to the con sideration of all farmers, shippers and business men generallyand advising a liberal•subscrip— tion to the stock.

The New 'York Money Market. • Froxntbe Herald of to-dair.l Truanar, Dec. 14 —There was a sharp demand for money this afternoon, based mum the shifting of loan's, arising out of the examination of securities and the general distnwt which continued to succeed the recent discoveries' of fraudulent - bonds. The apprehension might perhaps here been allayed toward the close of banking hours, and money have ceased its activity. had not there' list% a notification from • the Broadway Bunk of its intention to call three millions to-morrow to meet the payment of .certain city and county indebted ness. the bank beig the depository of the city funds. At the sane, time there was a small but sudden demand on all the banks by delinquent taxpayers, who drew upon their deposits in order to make immediate payment of taxes and avoid the addition of the one per cent. penalty which, is imposed after to-morrow. Again, the Trea sury sale of gold, in taking a million of cnrrency from the Street, however temporarily,. added to the general activity, which at one • time • recalled the famous _periode of last Winter, when throngs crowded the streets in front of the Stock Exchange. The erowd gathered to-day, but ifs tin:at...re were not to large nor was It so persistent in seeking money. Still many accounta were tardily made tip, and borrowers were in quest of money as late as half-past three o'clock. The stock. houses paid coin iu terest very freely, and in some cases a sixteenth fdr - turning and an eighth for CO/aMiESiOnb. The govern ment dealers were supplied at seven. currency, but some smaller houses had to pay seven, coin, on governments. The demand was tally met at these advanced rates, and those who hail money over were sleeking to, lend it as late as a quarter to four o'clock. There was a report nn the street Ibis afternoon that Gray hail been arrested in Philadelphia. Messrs. Jay Cooke k Co. request us to say that the statement in our local column of yesterday that they bail recently purchased certain bonds front Gray Civil° negotiated the fraudulent bounty bonds), which,proving . to be irregular, were subsimnently re turnisto biro, is incorrect. Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co. has e had in all three 86,000 pieces of the altered e t went ice, all of which carte from respectable houses,who fn !wished good Monk in substitution. The stock market in earlier operations showed' a ten dency to recover from the depression brought about by the unsettled teeling'of the street, and prices in most in stances were stronger than at the close of business the previous day. Everything went by the board, however. when "tight money" -wan felt. It was further evident that some, if -not all the prominent cliques, getting timely notice of the intended action of the Broadway Batik, as well as expecting the activity nrisiu7, from the payment of taxes, got out of their stocks in the morning, if indeed they had not sold yesterday as was then 3119- peeted. There was no exception to the decline, All the speculative shares sold down a half to two and a half per cent. There was little HXCitenment, over this fall,which show how limited have been recent transactions. In late street dealings the lowest prices were made for the list,but the - market was inclined to steadiness under pur chases of the shorts to cover. These purchases seemed its only strength, for the general feeling' on the street had become bearish after the advent of active money s New 'York Stock 'Market.
